A tool for visualizing OpenFAST wind turbine geometries
This program is used for the visualization of OpenFAST models. Currently, the following OpenFAST modules are supported:
-AeroDyn
-ElastoDyn
-SubDyn
-HydroDyn
-MoorDyn
The Bentley’s iTwin Analytical Synchronizer (ISM) needs to be installed which is free to viewing. It can be downloaded at Bentley Software Centre (https://softwaredownloads.bentley.com/). Create an account and search for iTwin Analytical Synchronizer:
This program should directly be used by opening ConvertFast.exe in the zipped file (download the zipped Release file at the Assets section https://github.com/shawnmeng9/ConvertFast/releases)
The following video shows how to use it for visualizing OpenFAST geometries.
